The system of numbering all buildings and lots
of land in the Borough shown on a map consisting of 15 separate sheets
or pages, entitled "Existing Conditions; Borough of Essex Fells, Essex
County, New Jersey Planning Board," dated April 30, 1935, prepared
by Allen H. Summerville, C.E., revised May 1960 for house numbering
by Leigh W. Morrill, Borough Engineer, and further revised June 1989
by Harold Ratzburg, Borough Engineer, providing a number for all buildings
and lots in the Borough and made a part of this chapter, is adopted
and the number shown thereon for each building or lot is assigned
to that building or lot.
Upon any subdivision or resubdivision of land
in the Borough resulting in a lot or lots other than those delineated
on said map, the Borough Engineer shall within 30 days after final
approval thereof assign a number to each lot resulting from the subdivision
or resubdivision which shall be in proper numerical sequence in relation
to the number assigned to other lots fronting on the same street,
and he shall record the same upon the map and notify the owner of
the property of the numbers so assigned.
The number so assigned to each building shall
be displayed by the owner or occupant on the front of the building
or in the front yard of the lot on which the same stands in numerals
of such size but not less than three inches in height and so located
as to be clearly visible to persons passing by the premises on the
abutting street.
No certificate of compliance shall be issued
for occupancy of any building hereafter erected or enlarged unless
the provisions of the foregoing section have been complied with.
